Sun Hecheng called two novice apprentices who had not signed up and ordered them to take out herbal specimens one by one, hang them on the wall above the podium, and write numbers on them. There were twenty specimens in total.
The wall lamp lights up, illuminating one wall like daylight.
Sun Hecheng said in a deep voice: "These twenty kinds of medicinal materials are our test questions today. Everyone, write the names of the medicinal materials in the corresponding numbers on the blank test paper, and write down how to conduct preliminary processing in as much detail as possible. Each medicinal material
It’s worth 5 points, out of 100 points. The test time is one hour. Let’s start now.”
Bai Xiaowen squinted and looked over. For him, who has the gift of insight, there is no pressure at all in identifying medicinal materials, and there is no way he can make mistakes.
The preliminary processing of medicinal materials refers to the preparation work that pharmacists need to do before preparing medicines. This work is actually very particular. For example, for basic cleaning, there are dozens of different cleaning solutions corresponding to different species of medicinal materials.
Using the wrong cleaning solution will cause damage to the quality of the medicinal materials, which will inevitably affect the success rate of pharmaceutical preparation. Such an assistant is definitely unqualified.
In the pharmaceutical department, there is a thick pharmaceutical encyclopedia, which is like the Oxford Dictionary of another time and space. It is a reference book for people to consult. The pharmaceutical encyclopedia does not record precious formulas, but the preliminary processing techniques of medicinal materials are all available.
, many categories.
The thickness of the pharmaceutical encyclopedia is daunting, and many apprentices have only a partial understanding of the pharmaceutical department after several years in the pharmaceutical department. Many people have ambitions to memorize this pharmaceutical encyclopedia when they first enter the industry. It only takes a few months.
Afterwards, we often find that we forget faster than we learn, so we can only give up in frustration.
Bai Xiaowen, who has a super brain, is not one of them. He just flipped through the pharmaceutical encyclopedia and had all the contents of more than a thousand pages of dense fine print printed in his mind. His brain has exceeded the category of "genius".
It's almost like a monster, and it can be regarded as a humanoid self-propelled computer, or a top-of-the-line version.
Bai Xiaowen scanned the twenty kinds of medicinal materials and understood clearly. The person who set the question was very attentive. The twenty kinds of medicinal materials were arranged from easy to difficult, with ten of the more basic medicinal materials and five of the more difficult ones. The last five medicinal materials,
It is relatively rare and rare. If Bai Xiaowen had not memorized the pharmaceutical encyclopedia by heart, he would not have been able to answer it completely.
Zong Jie, who was sitting at the front, was writing confidently. His speed was very fast and he had already answered the eleventh question.
"It's only been ten minutes, and I'm halfway done, and I'm pretty confident. I should be 90% sure of this exam." Zong Jie looked up at the No. 11 medicinal material specimen hanging on the wall, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
It was a bit exciting to unfold it.
"The eleventh medicinal material is a bit rare, but I have seen it before! Very good. If they are all as simple as the first ten questions, how can we widen the gap and appear to be superior?"
Zong Jie quickly wrote down the answer to the eleventh question, and even though he stumbled a bit for the 12th and 13th questions, he also wrote down the answers, which were basically complete.
However, question 14 stumped Zongjie.
In his memory, there seems to be some impression of the No. 14 medicinal ingredient, but he can't remember the name. As for the treatment method, Zong Jie is even more difficult to determine.
"It looks like magic moss. Should I use the baking method? No, the edges of the leaves of this medicinal material are smooth, unlike the jagged magic moss. Moreover, the leaves are thick and shiny, and the life energy particles should be contained in the leaves. The baking method
It will definitely damage the appearance.”
Zong Jie was undecided, so he could only put a question mark in front of the fourteenth question, and then looked at the fifteenth question.
However, question 15 also seems familiar, but I just can’t recall it.
"Damn it, why are you carrying it so hard?" Zong Jie gritted his teeth secretly, and then looked around. Many of the other apprentices seemed restless, some were biting the pen barrel, and some were scratching their heads and ears. They seemed to be stumped.
Zong Jie secretly felt relieved that it didn't matter if he did poorly in the exam, as long as others did worse.
Zong Jie looked at the last five questions with a hint of luck, and his face suddenly fell. The last five medicinal materials had never been seen at all! Maybe the tome that could be used as a brick was included in the Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Medicine.
These are rare medicinal materials, but it is an exam now, and Zongjie can't look through books to find the answers.
There was a clatter of the stool.
Zong Jie was startled and looked over following the sound, his brows suddenly furrowed.
The one who stood up was Bai Xiaowen. He strode to the podium and handed in his paper directly.
"So fast?" Zong Jie's eyes almost widened as he looked up at the wall clock on the side. There was still half the time left before handing in the paper!
Bai Xiaowen's early submission of papers aroused suspicion among many apprentices.
"For a newbie who has just been in the industry for a week, there is probably only one possibility for him to hand in the paper so quickly..." Zong Jie sneered in his heart, "I guess he couldn't answer a single question and handed in a blank paper! Hum, if I had known this, why would I have signed up?
a shame."
Thinking this way, Zong Jie seemed to feel much better. He racked his brains and even guessed to fill in the empty parts of the test paper. He checked it one last time and didn't hand in the test paper until the nine o'clock bell rang.
Sun Hecheng collected more than a hundred test papers, waved his hand and said, "You go and do your work, I will mark the papers on the spot, don't worry."
A group of apprentices moved the tables and chairs back to their original positions and then went to work. However, their attention was obviously not on the work in hand, but all focused on Sun Hecheng.
Sun Hecheng marked papers very quickly. He just glanced at many papers and threw them away without giving any marks. Obviously, those papers were not even good enough to pass the exam.
Zong Jie found a seat relatively close to Sun Hecheng and wiped the medicine cabinet constantly, his eyes fixed on the tip of Sun Hecheng's pen. He was secretly nervous. As of now, Sun Hecheng has reviewed more than thirty test papers, and only
Six test papers were above the passing mark and received points.
Wow, another test paper full of handwriting was pulled out. Zong Jie's heart trembled, this was his test paper.
Sun Hecheng ticked all the first ten questions correctly. He turned to the back and his marking speed slowed down a lot.
Zongjie felt excited, as this meant that his test paper was worthy of marking and he would definitely pass.
Soon, Sun Hecheng turned back to the front and wrote the name "Zong Jie" with a big stroke of his pen.
Seventy-six points!
Zong Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is his highest score so far, and he is almost certain to get into the interview. As long as he can get into the interview, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. The elder in Zong Jie's family is an old man who retired from a pharmacy.
Please save some face, old man, it's basically a sure thing.
Sun Hecheng raised his eyes slightly and spotted Zong Jie. He knocked the holder of the red pen on the table: "What are you looking at? Go do something quickly."
Zong Jie quickly agreed, suppressed his excitement, turned and walked to the other side of the medicine cabinet. Suddenly, he saw Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen was washing the utensils in the purification pool with a calm expression, as if he had never taken the exam. This calmness, in Zong Jie's eyes, had a different interpretation.
"Haha, Bai Xiaowen, how are you? Do you think it's impossible to get into the interview and are you afraid of being laughed at, so you are hiding here and pretending to be calm?"
Bai Xiaowen glanced sideways at Zong Jie, curled his thin lips into a sneer:
"If I can't get in for the interview, who else can get in?"
"Hey, you are so stubborn. If you can get into the interview, my name will be written backwards!" Zong Jie snorted.
"How you write your name is none of my business." Bai Xiaowen was very disdainful.
"Haha, that's good, let's make a bet," Zong Jie said, raising his voice slightly, "If you get in the interview, I will quit my job! If you don't get in, you can get out of here! Do you dare to bet?"
Bai Xiaowen's eyes flickered, as if he hesitated for a second: "Just bet, because I'm afraid some people won't admit their losses."
Seeing Bai Xiaowen so "cowardly", Zong Jie sneered: "Brothers are here to do the notarization. The big men are spitting and nailing each other. Anyone who cheats is worse than a pig or a dog!"
Seven or eight apprentices crowded over and agreed to testify. They were all young people in their twenties, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
The purification pool is far away from Sun Hecheng, and there are two rows of medicine cabinet shelves in the middle. The apprentices are a little unscrupulous.
After Bai Xiaowen's utensils were cleaned, he left without saying anything to Zong Jie and the others, carrying a basket of test tubes.
The wall clock struck half past nine.
A cough came from the podium, and Sun Hecheng stood up, holding a thin stack of test papers in his hand: "Okay, let's announce the results now."
